As Producers Sonia Friedman Productions, Colin Callender and Harry Potter Theatrical Productions revealed, the magic is set to continue on stage with the record-breaking show telling the entire eighth story in a single performance with one interval and a run time of 2 hours and 55 minutes.

As Cursed Child enters its second decade in the West End, this evolution marks an exciting new chapter. One which is more accessible to Harry Potter fans, allowing even more audiences to take in the wonder of the wizarding world with just one ticket and one trip to the theatre.

With companies around the globe already having moved to this dynamic format, such as the Broadway production in New York City, which is breaking all major box-office records, we’re excited to see how this new adventure is set to unfold.

Producers Sonia Friedman and Colin Callender have shared their excitement at the new step in this incredible journey:

"When Harry Potter and the Cursed Child premiered in the West End in 2016, it redefined what was possible in the art of stagecraft. This July, the production celebrates its 10th anniversary, an unprecedented milestone for a play performed in two parts and we are immensely proud of the indelible mark it has made on the theatrical and cultural landscape over the past decade…

But as new Harry Potter fans discover these stories every day, drawn in by their enduring power and the deep affection for these characters, we felt this milestone moment was the right time to make the production more accessible than ever before. Now running at under three hours, the reimagined production retains its scale, illusions and theatrical magic, and emotional depth, while allowing more audiences to experience the story in a single visit. By shifting our beloved original staging into this stunning version, beautifully reworked by the same extraordinary creative and technical teams, we are opening our Palace doors for even more audiences to experience this unforgettable journey with just one ticket in hand."

For those of you who wish to catch the two-part production in London and celebrate all that has been achieved in Cursed Child’s first incredible decade, booking has been extended until 20th September 2026. The one-part production will reopen at the Palace Theatre on 6th October 2026.

The final block of tickets for the current two-part production are now on sale at harrypottertheplay.com, where fans can also register to be the first to know when tickets for the reimagined production are released later this year.
